Prepare for the unexpected. That's the best advice for anyone who wants to avoid the panic and expense of plumbing problems. The waterworks in your home or business can let you down at any time, and when they do, you have to act fast to stop the gushing water or the evil tide that's backing up a drain. It's a good idea to have a 24/7 emergency plumbing service on speed dial, just in case. Most plumbing emergencies are serious, and they demand the attention of a trained serviceperson. Some situations can be dangerous, and quick thinking on the part of the emergency team can save a lot of grief and money.
Residents in Westminster are likely to experience blocked drains at some point, and they are certainly a common plumbing emergency. They form when debris or foreign objects get trapped in the drainage system, and the immediate response must be to avoid that water backing up and flooding your house or business. There are all sorts of oh-so-good reasons to hire a plumber, and if you hear any of those reasons, then you mostly know what to expect in terms of cost. But this is different. This is urgent. Your drain is blocked right now, and who knows when it will stop being blocked? We are on the scene. We are diagnosing this problem. We have solutions. So what will it cost?
Yet another urgent issue that Westminster, Colorado, may face due to plumbing problems is a faulty water heater. Don't think of it as merely another "poor me, life is hard because I'm without hot water" complaint. Picture yourself in the dead of winter, with a copper pipe in your basement, a pipe that has just passed hot water on its way to the upstairs bathroom—for half the year, a place that will not hold electric wind chimes, either a private or a public space. Why would anyone want to be without a water heater that works, if only to save themselves and the people around them from using snow as a pitiful avoidance of winter solstice plumbing problems?
Once again, why not preventative maintenance?
